Conferences, E-commerce and trade E-commerce and trade, Economic, Geopolitics, Globalisation, International law, International relations, law and politics, Politics and governance, Public policy BlogsThe 13th WTO Ministerial Conference in Abu Dhabi will address various trade issues, including digital trade. Key topics include the extension of the moratorium on customs duties for electronic transmissions and ongoing negotiations on digital policy. The conference might not yield major breakthroughs, but discussions on e-commerce continue, with differing views on extending the moratorium. The conference will also consider the impact of Joint Initiatives on trade liberalization and regulatory cooperation to reduce technical barriers to trade. While outcomes may not dramatically alter the e-commerce landscape, they could emphasize the importance of plurilateral agreements in governing digital trade.
